Chapter 46

I continue to hate Takumi. I will not waste time talking about him other than to say I’m glad Yasu was there to set things straight.

I felt pretty bad for Miu in this chapter too. I don’t even want her and Nobu to get together since I’m still rooting for Hachi and Nobu, but the heart wants what it wants..

(Ok I guess I do need to talk about Takumi after all), I’m sorta glad he figured out Leyla and Shin, but am annoyed that he cares, but not about either of them as people.

Oh Nobu… :relieved_face:

Also speaking of shutting themselves away from the party, we’ve confirmed that Nana is alive as of the present narration of the book because she’s narrated part of it and they are not expecting her to go to the fireworks (but with the implication that she could go) in the short future glimpse we got, right?

Just, checking..

And finally, this after chapter pic is Hachi and Nobu, right? :face_exhaling:

Chapter 46

I’m with you on the hate for Takumi!
My favorite moment was:


Hachi is slowly realizing that as hard as she tries to make it work, it’s probably not going to, and she would be fine by herself too.

I would have said Nana and Hachi :smiling_face_with_tear: but I’m all for Nobu and Hachi!!

Chapter 46

Ohh that would make sense too.. but the other hand is a lot bigger and I feel like I recognized that chunky bracelet as Nobu’s…?

Chapter 46

Oooh you’re right :heart_eyes: volume 7

Back when we were so young and naive :rofl:

Haha yes, there’s definitely a before and after volume 7 :smiling_face_with_tear: the pregnancy changed everything :pensive_face:

Chapter 46

Sorry to have to disappoint you both, but I’m pretty sure it’s not Nobu and Hachi, but Nobu and the porn star Yuri - she wears a bracelet like that and her ring is on the third finger unlike the two Nanas’ rings (They’re wearing their rings on their fourth fingers).

I’m not a fan of Takumi, but I’m not a fan of Nobu either. I’m with Miu on being unimpressed with Nobu so easily falling for Yuri

But for me the real love story remains the one between the two Nanas: what a declaration of devotion!

And do you think this is what happens - Hachi goes back to live in room 707 as a single mother, somehow earning her own money?

Chapter 46

Haha I love the debate, now I really need to know :smiley: I like your theory but I’m not totally convinced, as those small images between two chapters have usually been old scenes from a few volumes back.
For example this one from Volume 12, back when Hachi found out about Shouji cheating:

Agreed that Nana + Hachi is the strongest story here.

I don’t think so, it seemed to be that in the flashback, Hachi was also just coming back to 707 once a year like the others.

Chapter 46

Found it! :slight_smile:
Page 157 of volume 7

Chapter 46

Phew, I was so concerned that it was Yuri’s hand going to bed last night, glad I woke up to the good news :rofl:

Hehe hope you will have a nice day now! Mine is about to end :slight_smile: Funny how we are in three very different timezones :slight_smile: (not to mention Nanas, in timezone 2001)

Great sleuthing!

Chapter 47

…yes this is perfectly normal behavior and the news broadcast is not foreshadowing anything I’m sure..


If only…:relieved_face:

Not a lot more to say here.. lots of setups that are going to be big deals in the chapters to come: Misato, Ren getting cocaine (?), Yuri Nobu and Miu, maybe Nobu and Hachi, he who will not be named being the worst, Leyla and Shin.. just.. ugh..

Chapter 47

What?? I have no memory of seeing Misato in the Chapter 47 I read. Need to go reread :sweat_smile:

Chapter 47

OK I went and reread and Misato is the first thing of the chapter xD Don’t know if I completely phased out while reading, or happened to skip a whole double page when reading, or just forgot about it after reading it. I think I might have skipped the pages, because I also didn’t make the connection when Nobu and Yuri watch the same thing on TV from the bathtub (while would you turn on the TV at that point xD maybe just because you could though, could understand that)


So creepyyyyyyyy :scream: that plus the fact that she managed to get so close to Nana, and wears Nana’s half-sister name that Nana doesn’t even know the existence of as a disguise, I’m getting super scared! And WT* with that broadcast, don’t need to add up to the creepiness thanks xD

It got so close! And then Takumi appeared again :angry_face_with_horns:


Thought they would find the drugs in Ren’s jacket here…

Again, huge kuddos to Ai Yazawa for drawing the party so well, jumping around to all the things that are happening at the same time and between different people. Such amazing work.

Chapter 47

Oh I didn’t even think of that!!
Although I bet it’s going to be worse than that and someone’s going to find him high somewhere..

Totally agree, there are so many plot threads going on right now and she’s given them all enough time, and layered some of them together to make them even more impactful too.

more on men’s pockets

It’s just me, but I love the return of the pocket talk & I love the way that Ai Yazawa manages to make Takumi’s empty pockets seem sinister (笑)

creepy

Hope your wrong about this but Ai Yazawa does seem to tie up her loose narrative ends so it’s not looking good…and there’s that whole talk between Nobu and Yuri about stalkers in the bathtub

Trigger warning

This is pretty heartbreaking.

chapter 47’s theme

#47 theme: Why do people treat the people they supposedly love so badly?
